. ;-)Some things come to mind-do you host yourself, have a property manager or co-host, is your STVR dog friendly, do you have king beds, where is your market, do you have professional photos etc.

First of all, let me pay my respects to the hardworking people in real estate and the treacherous waters they navigate—fronting hours of effort with only the chance of commissions and an abundance of non-forthright people out there.

The work around was a Mexican bank was the owner and lease it to the foreigner.It's within 50 kilometres from the coast and 100 kms from an international border, so 31 and 62 miles respectively.

If not, negotiate to buy it, get future cash flow secured, & take the next couple months to do the updates in between guests then get updated photos.

Keep it short and respectful of their time, and offer to meet in person if they’re open to it.Join Tacoma-specific Facebook groups.

We just updated you on 12/21/2022 that your project is at tie beam inspections and provided you with the photo of your property to show the progress. 

Having reasonable expectations, hiring a local professional (Realtor or PM), doing your research, and doing everything right (i.e. pro photos, professional design, good renovation, proper amenities and location, etc) are the keys to success in 2025.

I’m debating whether to furnish the shared areas or just stage them for photos and viewings.

Did have high quality photos/ great listing title and description?

If you don't get access to the property before closing it can be tricky but if there are recent photos online or you can walk through before and take your own then it is much easier.
